The Queen�s Bench Divisional Court decided in July 1993 that:
�They could properly conclude that a dog was of the type known as the pit bull terrier if its characteristics substantially conformed to the American Dog Breeders Association�s standard.�

The standards for the APBT are however, extremely vague by UK pure breed standards. This means that many dogs, regardless of parentage could be considered a �pit bull type�.
The burden of proof lies with the defence. The owner has to prove to the court that the dog is not a �pit bull type� rather than the police having to prove that it is.
